Japan Cloud Accelerates Japan GTM and Revenue

Our track record speaks for itself. Since 2000, we've launched and scaled 18 growth-stage SaaS companies in Japan, including Salesforce, Marketo, Concur, Braze, Coupa, New Relic, PagerDuty, and Kong.

Our unique local investment model, developed in partnership with Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, aligns our success directly with your success. By investing in your Japan entity, we become true partners in growth.

We’re a team of SaaS industry veterans who know what it takes for you to succeed in Japan. We go beyond market entry to provide end-to-end support, from hands-on customer and talent engagement to tailored development programs that strengthen your Sales, Marketing, PR, Customer Success, and Operations.

At the heart of it all is our vibrant ecosystem: your team shares a dynamic workspace in central Tokyo, immersed in a collaborative environment where ideas ignite, networks grow, and momentum builds.
